Who is this guy?

So who am I?  What gives me the gall to think I could write a script about Superman? And on top of that 4 scripts?!  Am I the worlds biggest Superman fan?  Have I devoted my life to the study of Superman?  Do I know everything about all the comics, can I resite dates and all of the goofs over the years?

Well, the answer to most of those is No.  Some of them No doesn't really fit as an answer, "Who am I?" "No"  See, just doesn't quite seem to fit. 

I am just a guy, someone who watched the movie so many years ago and fell in love with the idea presented before me.  I came across comics later in life, probably when most people do, I don't have an exact date, but I believe it was 1991, or within a few years prior.  I wasn't a big fan at that point, but I did love comics.  I love the artistry and the ridiculousness of the storylines.  There was nothing like it I had come across before.  Movies, TV, novels, there is nothing quite like a comic book. 

I really got into comics around the time the Death of Superman comics came out, which is also around the same time the Spiderman 2099 series came out.  I was hooked on the 2099 comics and I would still love to finish my collection.  I have all the Spiderman 2099 comics, but not many of the rest of the series.  It was not exactly easy for a 13 year old to make enough money to support a comic habit as my parents were never real big on giving an allowance and didn't think much of comics. 

I admit to getting very angry at writers who write stories based on something that they are completely unfamiliar with.  I've seen it happen a lot and I will not mention names or scripts.  There was a movie that I saw fairly recently that seemed very much like that.  It seemed the writer interviewed a group of fans, they bounced all over the place, telling the main story, but throwing in the little extras that only a true fan would know.  Then the writer goes off with his notes and puts together a script based on what he heard, all of these not quite right inside jokes.

I've also seen movies that stay so true to the story that they shoot themselves in the foot, it just doesn't make sense or is so far out there that you lose all but the true fanboys. 

Back to my original point though, I am a fan, not the biggest, but I know enough to hopefully do this project justice.  I continue my research to show respect, but as a movie lover, I must find the story to tell in movie format.  This is my passion, not to just write the movie that I want to see, but the movie that I need to see.
